Don't look back
Beth Waters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This isn't sometimes, this is always.
This isn't maybe, this is always.
This is love,
The real beginning of forever,
This isn't just mid summer madness,
A passing glow, a moment's gladness,
Yes it's love.
I knew it on the night we met,
You tied a string around my heart,
So how can I forget you.




With every kiss I know that
This is always.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Beth Waters's song "Don't Look Back" are a testament to the power of true love. The line "This isn't sometimes, this is always" speaks to the fact that love is not fleeting or temporary, but rather a constant force that endures through all of life's ups and downs. When the songwriter declares that "This is love, the real beginning of forever," she is acknowledging that true love is not just a feeling, but a commitment to building a life together.


The verse "This isn't just mid summer madness, a passing glow, a moment's gladness" emphasizes the idea that true love is not a temporary infatuation or fleeting excitement, but rather a deep and lasting connection that transcends time and circumstance. The song's chorus, which repeats the phrase "This is always," further drives home the idea that true love endures through all of life's challenges.


The final verse, which describes how the songwriter knew that she was in love on the night she met her partner, provides a personal touch to the song's message. The image of the string tied around her heart is a powerful one, symbolizing the way that love can bind us to another person. The final line, "With every kiss I know that this is always," reinforces the idea that physical affection is just one aspect of a deeper emotional connection that exists between two people in love.
